Overview

 

Haiti is a founding member of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB). Like other shareholder countries, Haiti designates a Governor to represent its interests on the IDB Board of Governors.

At the IDB Headquarters in Washington, D.C., Haiti is represented on the Board of Executive Directors. This position, shared with Argentina, is led by an Executive Director who is elected for a three-year term by the Governors of both Haiti and Argentina. This arrangement ensures that Haiti has a voice in the day-to-day operations and strategic decisions of the IDB.

The Country Engagement Note (CEN) for Haiti for 2024-2026 prioritizes addressing Haiti’s immediate needs, supporting recovery efforts to jump-start the economy, and laying the foundation for sustainable and inclusive growth.

This engagement note focuses on three main priority areas:

  1. Bolster economic development for future rapid, inclusive, and sustained growth.
  2. Enhance basic service delivery and human capital development.
  3. Improving institutional capacity and rule of law.

Additionally, the CEN incorporates two cross-cutting themes: i) supporting the most vulnerable populations, including women, youth, and internally displaced people and ii) increasing resilience to external shocks and avoid future loss.

The CEN aims to keep the IDB engaged, adaptable, and responsive to the evolving and fragile context in Haiti.
